Shopping the Folk Fest Market

For those inclined to spend some cash or anyone in need of a break from the music or the beer gardens, there is some serious shopping to be done at Folk Fest's art market.

Bid on the artist decorated rain barrels at the Green Calgary tent. The barrels were painted by local artists including Daniel J. Kirk, Julia Lam and Ivan Ostapenko. Silent auction bids start at $100 or buy a blank rain barrel for $65 and paint it yourself when you get home. 

Or go for these Folk Fest mugs created by Shirley Jung. They are $18 each or two for $30. 

There is also plenty of options for leather goods like this bag by JenV Designs. It's $175. 

The market is to the right of the main stage. Follow your nose and the scent of incense.
